Perfidy — A.J. Ragland

Are you responsible for a life saved--or is that life owed to you? When ex-CID agent Luke Cassine rescued a young girl from a Mexican drug cartel in 1999, he never imagined one day she would grow up to become his bitter enemy -- a mysterious woman determined to bury him. Now retired in a pastoral corner of France, his quiet life is disturbed once again when he is asked to do a favor for his old friend and a former CID commander, Ray Mattock, a defense attorney in San Francisco. Go to Paris. Find and protect Katherine Novak who is accused in the murder of her husband. Fleeing from France to Italy, and finally to a courtroom in San Francisco, Luke and Kate become allies and lovers as they race to expose the perfidious acts of a common enemy, an enemy that will stop at nothing to protect a secret surveillance program called Looking Glass.
